Phil... any idea how to jiggy rig the Panda to use SRR?

no but look at this

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1733723.msg18007729#msg18007729


the mobo for 142 usd

interesting.... hmmmm that whole board is like a giant PCI-USB riser !

We would required to have access to the AMD radeon E9550 GPU card.

Which is an RX 480 with a slower Men clock.

That would be an epic project to make ;-)

5 cards?

3 x slots and 2 on risers?

OK, just got rig#1 running with ETH + PASC about an hour ago and here's the first report...

Started out with default ETH intensity of 8 and tried 20 for Pasc.  This resulted in a blue-screen reboot about 1 minute after the miner was launched.  So, I tweaked the bat file to 6 for Eth and 10 for Pasc and it ran fine for about an hour with the following results (4 GPU rig): 

ETH: 111.2 Mhz / Pasc: 556 Mhz / 672 watts (about 60 allocated for addition of Pasc mining over solo Eth mining)

Obviously, this hash-rate for Pasc is quite weak (due to only 10 Intensity) and accordingly to calculators, equates to about .40 cents per day profit.  Nothing to get excited about, especially since Pasc seems on a downward price trend. However, there are a couple of mitigating factors, at least for me.

First, getting 111.2 on ETH was quite surprising because mining Eth solo with the exact same settings, I was running about 109.2.  This is especially strange considering the 111.2 is with Eth intensity at only 6, vs the default 8 in solo mode. I don't understand how this can happen but I'm not complaining at all.

The other thing is that for whatever reason, I have not been able to dual min ETH + DCR on this rig for a few weeks now... despite it running fine for about 1 week straight initially.  I tried a lot of tweaks but nothing worked so I have just had rig1 on XMR for the last 2 weeks. But, now with ETH being about 50-60% more profitable than XMR to mine, i needed to get this rig back on ETH anyway, even if only in solo mode. So, even .40 extra from Pasc is not bad but hopefully i can increase that at least a bit.

I am planning to start doing +1 to Pasc and see how much more i can squeeze out before crashing. I already tried +1 (so to 11) and it's been stable for 30 minutes, so will probably try adding 1 about every hour. The result of the first +1 was about 10% more Pasc hash, almost no ding to ETH, and about +5w. I've got plenty of power headroom on this rig so not worried about that. Hoping to get it at least in the 15-16 range, which should give about 850, which would make it about .65 cents profit/day.

yeah  .  if it does 5 I will call it a day.

So... got my rig#1 running ETH + PASC with Pasc intensity at 13 for almost 12 hours now so seems stable. Although still getting close to 7% rejected shares. I will start trying to bump it up from there over the day and see what happens. I created a thread for reporting PASC settings/results here if anyone is interested:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1808904.new#new

On another note, I just got notice from Baikal that my Mini miner has shipped and will arrive on Friday!  That was super fast and very happy about the great customer service from their team!  But, it cannot get here soon enough given that Dash is now pushing $40!

Also happy to see ZEC back up close to $40. I thought it was dead last week when it went under $30 but i guess not.  Even though Im still not mining it, hopefully the recent price bump will help spread some of the WW hash-rate away from ETH

I had to run different numbers for the pandaminer   4+4 

my other gear can do 4+15  lots of overhead due to quality cpus.

my temp solution is two setups on smOS

The 2 card rigs  are my old 4 card rigs  so they have lots of overhead I can run high -drci maybe as high as 20

I posted on your thread.I now use 2 emails on two browsers this allows me to set the panda miner different from the other miners


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1808904.msg18027685#msg18027685




...

For now I have smOS with 2 emails 1 is all msi rx 470/480 rigs one is the panda miner.
Need two browsers  but it works on the same pc at the same time

the cpus in the msi rx rigs are all i5's  I suspect I can go higher
the cpu in the panda miner is a lowed mobile welded in so dual miner may not be practical at all

NH paying more than 1000% above PPS for selling your X11 hash; 0.0125 BTC per GHs (current NH buyer/seller marketprice)

One of my team members is over the moon with his 25GH X11 farm.

[vg54dett]

sorry for newb question , but to enjoy the sometimes high NH payrate , you just have to point the gear to their server , nothing else to do or set?

Yes. Straight forward.

Refer https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=gstarted

If you are selling ETH hash to them, they pay you BTC (ie. instead of mining at ethpool and get back ETH coins)

Pool: stratum+tcp://daggerhashimoto.usa.nicehash.com:3353
Userid: <your BTC address>
Password: x

Depending on where you are in the world -- you can choose nodes nearest to you.

ZEC is currently hot.
Equihash algorithm (ZEC, CZEC, Komodo, etc ... are all Equihash coins)
Use stratum+tcp://equihash.usa.nicehash.com:3357

If you want to sell Pascal hash and get BTC then...
Use: stratum+tcp://pascal.usa.nicehash.com:3358

there are dozens more algos listed  here https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=gstarted

It also shows whats is the profitability above normal PPS.

X11 the past few days was really madness.

I cant figure out why would renters pay so much for the hash power -- is it for pump and dump action?

And they know their returns will be much much bigger than what they spent on NH?

In that case I would mind selling my hash power and get BTC right away.

this has happened on and off with nicehash  btc itself   was 3 to 8 x correct price which was due to a pump n dump of a sha 256 coin.  I did 4 week roi with gear back in the day.

oh the panda miner kept crashing with dual mining so I have it on eth alone.  -ethi 4


but the biostar z170s with 2 card vs 4  are dual mining monsters.

[vg54dett]

Thanks Citronick, I'v put some gear to them!

[vg54dett]

Could you explain what is pump and dump ? and how it makes profit for them when they pay 10x the real price ?

[citronick]

Thanks Citronick, I'v put some gear to them!

Claymore and Optiminer miners supports NH marketplace too.

Once you point you hash you can see your progress at

I wonder too.

Sometimes it happens in BTC marketplace too, where a buyer will pay premium to acquire as much hash as possible  driving the price up.

Really hate those times because I do buy a few hundred THs to play at solo.ckpool.org occasionally but it's hard to get a cheap price when everyone is fighting for hash.

I guess thats what you call: supply and demand at work.

most of the time it is a new coin launch..  when btc was 200 to 800%  it was the Josh of Zen miner ponzi coin a sha 256

 people were mining it  hoping to become superrich.

the money lost was huge as the coin tanked.

I made solid money renting  my sp20's  and getting paid about 4 months worth of coin in a month.

This mining game is not about boom I am rich or bang I am bust.

It is a long haul grind.



I have
some really good results on dual mining with the msi rx 470's and 480's

-ethi 5    -drci 30


I get fall off with eth   but amazing -drci numbers

246 mh for eth vs 266 mh

but over 3600mh for pasc  so my cost for 3600mh is 20 mh and about 200 watts

Do you guys have heard explainations about the recent surge in ETH and some cryptos prices ? Like Dash and Zcash.

I know we are many to wait the SEC position and it impact BTC price , but what about the cryptos rising ? they are pushed by BTC ? or is there any good news about them explaining that growth ?

I listen to a you-tuber named "crypt0". He produces videos concerning BTC, ETH, and other alts.  A little rough around the edges but he lets me know what's current. Here is a video concerning ZEC and ZCL.
